New bluetooth attacks force phone reboots

Here’s an article that describes a $200 device that can force all phones in bluetooth range to reboot. The author was riding a train where everyone’s iPhone started rebooting every few minutes.

The reason I’m posting in an audio forum is that nearly all wireless listening is done via bluetooth.

Unfortunately this is another case where previously expensive and difficult attacks are now easily availble to anyone.
